If you would like to ask me a question to be added to this list, then please contact me<\/a> or add your question to this Twitter thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are 3 good sources you can use and you can find links to all three in my post “Where I can find Gender Pay Gap data?<\/a>”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the data submitted on https:\/\/gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk\/<\/a> (which I will refer to as GPG Submissions) the median woman earned 90p in 2018 assuming the median man earned \u00a31<\/strong>.\u00a0 But this is not the only source of data and gender pay gaps have in fact been tracked for longer by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) using a data series known as Annual Survey of Hours & Earnings (ASHE)<\/a>.\u00a0 ASHE says the median woman earned 82p in 2018 assuming the median man earned \u00a31<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There are two reasons why there is an 8p difference between the two figures.\u00a0 The first is that they are measuring different things.<\/p>\n The second reason is to do with breakdowns offered by the dataset.<\/p>\n The top line gender pay gap reported by ONS ASHE is a national figure BEFORE any of the breakdowns apply.\u00a0 Once you start breaking down ONS ASHE by some of their options and then average across the breakdowns, a much smaller figure would emerge.\u00a0 For example, the gender pay gap is 9p for full time employees and -4p (favouring women) for part time roles.\u00a0 So averaging across these breakdowns would give you something like a 4p gender pay gap.<\/p>\n Since GPG submissions is already broken down by organisation, it is not possible to “unbreak it”to get an equivalent national figure.\u00a0 All we can do is average across organisations which is not the same thing.<\/p>\n Whilst the ONS reports its national figure, it’s recommendation though is to look at its breakdowns instead starting with the full time employees which currently has a 9p gap virtually the same as GPG submissions.<\/p>\n The bottom line is that the two figures are not really measuring the same thing but when you get under it, they are probably not contradicting each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have written a number of articles about the gender pay gap covering these topics:-<\/p>\n Finally visit my Twitter thread<\/a> to see my comments on gender pay gaps in the media.\u00a0 Some notable ones are here.<\/p>\n April 2019 is bang in the middle of gender pay gap season as everyone digests the 2018 snapshot data uploaded by over 10,500 organisations in the UK employing more than 250 employees.\u00a0 Due to my work on pay gaps, I am being asked a number of questions and what is gender pay gap data and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[63,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-1666","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-archive","7":"tag-gender-pay-gap","8":"tag-presenting-data","9":"entry","10":"override"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4129,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666\/revisions\/4129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nQ1: Where can I find gender pay gap data for a particular organisation?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
\nQ2: Do organisations who submit their data near or after the deadline have larger pay gaps than those that submit early?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/marriott-stats.com\/nigels-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Late-submitters-300x229.png\")
The short answer is no as can be seen in this chart.\u00a0 The only apparent effect is that up to 15th February, the median of the median gender pay gaps was near zero implying that the first 10% of submitters were better than the subsequent 90% who did not vary by submission date.<\/p>\n
\nQ3: Why are gender pay gaps published by the Office of National Statistics different to what is submitted by the 10K+ organisations?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
